About this yard

Bassingfield Riding School is a family-run riding school and livery yard close to Nottingham, established in 1954 by Shirley Thomas and still family-operated. It offers riding lessons for beginners through to advanced riders, on over 50 acres with a floodlit all-weather arena, showjumping and dressage paddocks, and a cross-country course with around 40 jumps.

Livery is available on a DIY, grass, part or full basis, though spaces are usually at capacity. The centre runs regular disabled riding sessions for individuals, groups and organisations including the Thera Trust, and NVQ and stable management training is also available. A tack shop with a made-to-measure saddle-fitting service is open to external customers by appointment.
